Ecology & Movement
Integral Ecoawareness Training and Practice / www.integralecoawareness.org
Integral Ecoawareness Training and Practice is a holistic, bodymind-based method to enhance awareness of self and our interconnectedness with nature.
It is an invitation to explore life through the personal experiential perspective.
We go beyond personal development, support the search for meaning, encouraging creativity, playfulness, experiment and change.
The Training includes an awareness of the human body, the mind, emotional and spiritual aspects and of its interconnectedness with the planet and universal processes and patterns.
Why Integral Ecoawareness?
Our perception is formed by the current world-view we live in, which is based on separation.
Integration, being able to perceive and experience ourselves as part of the web of life, will lead us to a new paradigm, a new way in which we perceive reality.
Experiencing and observing nature, the rhythms and patterns of it, teaches us about our being. It is a source of innovation and inspiration.
An intuitive awareness of the intrinsic value of every being arises, an intuitive understanding of living with nature (as supposed to exploiting it) grows, and along with that the wish to protect her.
This kind of understanding will root all the intellectual insights humankind has by today. It was/is alive in many indigenous peoples/tribes which had/have consequently a sustainable culture. It got lost when the human being regarded himself as separate of and superior to nature, that being the ground on which all the quick changes within the last decades could happen. It led to an unbelievable dimension of exploitation and destruction of nature and as well of human beings.
The integration of a systemic way of perceiving and thinking enhances your personal life quality, supports all life of this planet and contributes to the arising shift of consciousness.
